1
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: What's going on everyone?

2
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: Emily Vadi here you are listening to five Minute Friday

3
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: from Hurdle.

4
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: I missed you last week. I needed a second.

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: If I'm being transparent, I just needed to take a

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: week to recalibrate.

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: But we are back.

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: The summer is in full swing, and I am here

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: to do my thing. I hope you all are doing well.

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in the home stretch of summer,

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: and here in New York we have this fake fall moment,

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 2: which is candidly lovely but also a tad bit rude

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: because we are so far from fall, and despite it

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: being my favorite season, I am nowhere near ready to give.

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Up summer just yet.

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: Can I tell you that there is nothing less appealing

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: than working on something that is hard. I'll say that again,

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 2: there is nothing less appealing than working on something that

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: is hard. I mean, there is reward in doing challenging things.

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: That's why I like to get up early and work

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: out and go down that path. But in my workouts lately,

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: I've been doing all of these hip strengthening exercises. My

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: hip on my right side is weaker than my hip

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: on my left side, and so I'm starting to notice

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: some discrepancies in the way that I move, and if

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: I don't address those discrepancies now, they may come back

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: to bite me in the butt later. And so as

28
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: a part of the strengthening work, I have a slew

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: of movements that I talked about a couple weeks ago

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: that are a part of my regular routine, and if

31
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: I am being transparent, I really don't like doing them.

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: But you know what I don't like more.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: I don't like being injured and not being able to

34
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: do the things that I want. I don't want to

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: feel uncomfortable regularly. I don't want to be on the

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: bench because I didn't make the conscious choice now to

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: do something that could be good for me despite it

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 2: being difficult. I don't want to be sidelined later when

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: I could have made the choice to do something in

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: favor of my future self. Now, wow, that is applicable

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: to so much right. There are so many decisions that

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: we all make on a day to day basis that

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: could be benefiting our future selves. Now, I will be

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: the first person to tell you that I don't have

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: it all figured out. I am not doing a zillion

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: things every day that would set me up for an

47
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: ideal scenario, but I do have a few habits that

48
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: have major payoffs, and that's what I want to talk

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 2: about right now.

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: That is what I've been thinking a lot about.

51
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: I know that, for instance, by doing this strength work,

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: I am going to be better in the long haul,

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to do what I want to do.

54
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: I also know that by sitting down and journaling every morning,

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to feel better as my day goes on.

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: I know that by incorporating a certain amount of protein

57
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: into my diet every day, my body's going to feel

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: better as my day goes on. I'm going to feel

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: better and more at home in my body by making

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: these choices.

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: However, again, I am not perfect, and.

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: So what I would encourage you to do if you're

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: listening to this is think about what your priorities are.

64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Ask yourself, what is it that I can do within

65
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: my day to day to make my future self happier.

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be overhauling your entire routine, and

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: admittedly you shouldn't take on too many hard things at once,

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: but just like right now, the hard thing that I'm

69
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: integrating is all of this hip strengthening work. I'm doing

70
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: it about four days a week at this point. Choose

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: your hard thing. Choose your hard thing that's going to

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: cite your future self up for success, and I can

73
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: promise you you will not regret it. That's the prompt.

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: That's it.

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: What can you do for yourself this week that's setting

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: your future self up for success, even if it's challenging

77
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: one thing. That's all I want you to think about. Okay,

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: think about your goals, think about what I excite to you,

79
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: and tag me if you think about it. Over at

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: Emily Body and at Hurdle Podcast and now a listener question.

81
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Hey Emily, my name is Brianna. I recently got let

82
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: go from my job and I know that this is

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: something that you've dealt with a couple of times now.

84
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I remember you having a really good attitude about being

85
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: out of work. But I feel like I'm completely down

86
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 2: in the dumps and I don't know how to even

87
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: begin searching for something new. Would really love some insight

88
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: or any tips or tricks that you could offer me

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: during this unexpected time. Thanks so much for everything that

90
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: you do. Hey, Brianna.

91
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I have.

92
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: Been let go twice and I know that it is frightening.

93
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: So I want you to know that you are certainly

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: not alone in this. What I will tell you is

95
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: that there's only so much time that you can spend

96
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: every day applying for jobs. A couple of things that

97
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: are important. Update your resume, update your online presence, so

98
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: if someone googles you, what are they finding?

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: Take control of that narrative.

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: So maybe there's some value in investing in a personal website,

101
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: really taking a look at your social media channels, and

102
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: making sure that everything that you're putting out into the

103
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: world is something that you feel like represents you in

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: the way that you want someone new to interpret who

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: it is that you are and what it is that

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: you do. Now, that can take a lot of bandwidth

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: and a lot of time. If you have the financial means,

108
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: I would say, let someone help you if you can.

109
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: That is so important. I've learned over the last eight

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: years of figuring out whatever it is I'm doing in

111
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: this world, that there are going to be people that

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: do things better than me, and I should allow them

113
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: to focus on the things that I am good at

114
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: while they do what it is that they are good at.

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: I digress.

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: All of these things can take some time, but my

117
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: guess is that you'll still have a good chunk of it,

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: and sitting at your computer and being an anxious mess

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: may not be the solution. So do what I commonly

120
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: refer to as increase your service area of luck.

121
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Be out and about meet people. Network.

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't just need to be at specifically targeted networking events,

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: like just being out and about wherever you live in

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: your community is going to enable you to increase that

125
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: surface area to talk to more people, to learn more things,

126
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: and really put yourself out there.

127
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: I know it's not easy. Again, I have been there.

128
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: It is anxiety inducing and frustrating, but just trust me

129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 2: when I say that you will be better once you

130
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: make it through this. I promise you again. The socials

131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: over at Emily Body and at Hurdle Podcast Another Hurdle conquered.

132
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: Catch you guys, Excite
